Political Quotes

“I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. I rise in support of the Delivering for America Act. The post office is a lifeline to rural communities. More than 1,000 people in the district that I serve have written to my office desperate to save the Postal Service: a disabled veteran who depends on the post office to deliver lifesaving medication; a small business owner who needs the post office to deliver her products in an efficient and cost-effective way, so she can feed her family; seniors who must self- isolate because they are at high risk, who depend on the Postal Service for the supplies they need each and every day. The Postal Service is more than a service; it is part of who we are. For Joseph in Peoria, he was a child waiting for that decoder ring to come through the mail. For Heather in Pekin, it is a care package full of old family photos after losing a loved one. For Joseph in Kewanee, it is a letter from his best friend serving in Afghanistan. Birth certificates, college acceptance letters, the mortgage paid off, the Postal Service delivers the American Dream. We cannot let it fail.”
